Vancouver, BC | A veritable dream team of Canada’s most revered chefs will assemble to judge the inaugural Hawksworth Young Chef Scholarship competition in Vancouver, BC next month. When judging duties are over, the celebrity chefs will put down their pens and pick up their knives to cook a special five-course fundraising dinner at Hawksworth Restaurant on the evening of Sunday October 27th.

During the day the stellar line up of judges will be keeping an eye on the young chefs who have reached the final round of the Hawksworth Young Chef Scholarship and stand to win a $10,000 prize presented by founding sponsor, Chefs’ Table Society of BC and a stage at a top international restaurant.

Chef David Hawksworth will be cooking at the dinner with his fellow judges, each of whom has created a special dish for the five-course meal. Chef Hawksworth will be joined by his Chef de Cuisine Kristian Eligh and Vancouver-based celebrity Chef Vikram Vij around the judging table for this year’s event. Other special guest judges travelling west for the fundraising dinner include the legendary Chef Normand Laprise, owner and head chef of Toqué! and Brasserie T!; TV star and Chef Mark McEwan, star of Top Chef Canada, and successful Corporate Executive Chef of Oliver & Bonacini Restaurants Chef Anthony Walsh.

“Canada’s brightest culinary stars have stepped forward to take part in judging the inaugural Hawksworth Young Chef Scholarship,” says Chef David Hawksworth. “We’re excited to inspire the next generation of chefs and give people an opportunity to experience the cuisine of so many great chefs in one special dinner.”

Created by Alessandro Munge, from the multi award winning Canadian interior design firm Munge & Leung, Hawksworth’s four distinct dining rooms include the leather-paneled Bar & Lounge, clubby and intimate; the glamorous Pearl Room, elegant and iridescent with pearl banquettes and a magnificent chandelier; the compelling and vibrant Art Room featuring a custom installation by internationally acclaimed local artist Rodney Graham, and the first floor York Room inspired by its 1920’s heritage where original features meet modern technology and huge arc windows overlook the Vancouver Art Gallery. This veritable chameleon of a restaurant delivers a range dining experiences suited to a variety of moods or occasions.

“Each design element, in addition to being functional, adds beauty, depth and appeals the senses, we really want people to experience the space on more then just a visual level, to appreciate its touch and feel and to really connect with it”Alessndro Munge

  1. This is a great opportunity for a young chef. It would be nice in upcoming years to have a woman mentor chef on the panel.
